Yeah. Sorry, it is my bad missed to observe N = 5623.

@Venki. Hmmm. Let me see. The problem specified that there were 5623
participants. That makes n = 5623. You say that n-1 games are needed,
and compute that as 5621.
Yeah, Dave. It is simple, but small correction, we need 5621 games to
figure out the winner.
In general, if we are having n participants we need n - 1 games to
determine the final winner. We can conclude the fact, by drawing the
tournament tree for small numbers and count for the games to be held
@Venki. Hmmm. Let me see. The problem specified that there were 5623

and compute that as 5621. So you are saying that 5623 - 1 = 5621. Is
that some kind of new math?

Simpler. Every game eliminates one participant. Since 5,622
participants must be eliminated to have one winner, it takes 5,622
games.
